The Duchess of Cambridge is probably one of the busiest people in the world. And it seems like having a busy schedule has take a toll on Kate with her gaunt appearance and her controversial shrinking figure.

Critics have been eyeing on The Duchess of Cambridge not only for her style but also for her figure. Basing from the photos of Kate Middleton before she became Duchess of Cambridge or even before her wedding day, she has dramatically dropped weight and some even say she is close to being anorexic.

Kate's figure has long been an issue. She appeared at the Royal Wedding with a waif waistline and looking dry. Some sources said that Kate has gone through a Dukan diet for the wedding but some critics say that The Duchess has done it way over the top.

Her figure today may not be even be considered normal or healthy, but in fact pencil thin, similar to the likes of Angelina Jolie and Victoria Beckham who both looked struggling from malnutrition.

"She looks malnourished, her face appears gaunt. She looks tired," said Lisa DeFazio, a nutrition expert, in an article before on Star magazine.

From week after week of being photographed and seen publicly, The Duchess of Cambridge is starting to look bony and unhealthy. A far cry from her glowing and healthy appearances before she was named Duchess.
